Fair enough, I'll keep looking
Does the 3as not immobilise then?


Yeah it does have immobiliser, it cuts the starting circuit... but unfortunately still allows for bump starting... hense why the 5AS system was implemented on the R100 range.


That's great thanks.
Going to have another look tonight if I can get myself a light source.

Any recommendations for getting shit out of the spark plug hole?
C4 has some saw dust looking stuff in there and I'm scared it will fall into the cylinder if I take the plug out

Turn the car upside down and tap it so it all falls out? Lol Ermm, is it actually saw dust? Will a hoover nozzle at the top have enough suction to pick them up or maybe if its just crud suck up with a drinks straw then spit out? Not nice but if nothing else works. Can't be worse than anti freeze anyway. Lol

Just waiting for Ding to comment now lol

Unfortunately it was damp tissue/paper, stuck under the plug (WTF how did that happen)
Had to let it fall in and then blow it out by turning the engine over

BUT went to turn it over, nothing. Went through all the checks, looks like the starter motor had gone. Luckily it freed up when we hit it with a hammer.

not much point in doing this here but your last text to me

can I collect on the 4th ?

mine to you

yes somebody will be here all day

it cannot be clearer than that, I can only presume no show because the gearbox you bought form MG.Org was cheaper you went for that, I have no problem with this but just a no thanks would of been good

Cheers Morey

Itsonlyme, your gearbox would have saved me 5 hours of driving and £30 of petrol.
If you didn't receive my messages, I'm more than happy to print screen them as I really do not want you to feel like I've mislead you.
I did enquire on mg-rover and rovertech for a backup as things fall through. People become ill, get called away, ect. But you were my 1st choice.
I'm hopeful you can accept this is a genuine mistake

EDIT: In fact, you saved the day when I posted urgently looking for slave cylinders


Back on-topic, she also got several fresh nuts and bolts as the old ones were rusty and rounding off.

the 3as alarm box is above the metal cross member in your picture just out of sight.

All you need is a working key fob and you can program the 3as yourself
You can buy replacements here and retain your oprinal 3as box so you wont have to remove the box or the glove box. Just do the programming sequence which invlovles turning the ignition on and opening the boot a few times in a set order to activate programming mode, the horn beeps and the alarm LED stays on if you done it right. Had to do this with my K reg 1.1 when I got it as it didn't come with a fob.
http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/rover/rover-metro/

PS, those blue connectors are everywhere in all Rover cars, they are basically one of these but for cars, it just saves on wiring, ie, one single wire from the fusebox then will supply a few power sources to more remote items like switchs, Also the same for earths to avoid many earth points on the car.
The blue one in your picture I think has dash illumination and also the indicators.
Hope that helps.

It wont be long before I need something else you'll have for sale

Thanks Martin
I have found the 3as and it is plugged in. Unfortunately my alarm LED doesn't light up at all, even when I try and enter programming mode.
I'll grab another 3as next weekend and swap it over.

Make's sense regarding the blue plug, a terminator as such. Will be a good place to tap into if I need some power


Fixed my starter motor today, the connections needed a good clean

Did some work this weekend
Swapped over the rear wiper motor, replaced the passenger washer jet and fabricated a link between the passenger lock and CL motor on Saturday.

Yesterday a mate snow foamed her and I let him loose with his new machine polisher. Much to my surprise (bonnet was ruined anyway), he did a good job. Only had time to do the bonnet and around the petrol cap with the tough compound but will do a full job soon.
Went out in the forest after so all nice and dirty again

Picked her up from the garage this morning, new tank all fitted

Just plugged in a replacement 3AS, it unlocks the boot and the passenger's door but not the drivers -.-
